SAFETY RULES
Safe Operation Practices for Ride-On Mowers
•
•
•
•
•
Besuretheareaisclearofotherpeoplebeforemowing.
Stop machine if anyone enters the area.
WARNING: In order to prevent accidental
startingwhensettingup,transporting,ad-
justing or making repairs, always discon-
nect spark plug wire and place wire where
it cannot contact spark plug.
Nevercarrypassengersorchildrenevenwiththeblades
off.
Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely necessary.
Alwayslookdownandbehindbeforeandwhilebacking.
Never carry children. They may fall off and be seriously
injured or interfere with safe machine operation.
Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of another responsible adult.
WARNING: Do not coast down a hill in
neutral, you may lose control of the trac-
tor.
•
•
Be alert and turn machine off if children enter the area.
Before and when backing, look behind and down for
small children.
WARNING: Towonlytheattachmentsthat
are recommended by and comply with
specificationsofthemanufacturerofyour
tractor.Usecommonsensewhentowing.
Operateonlyatthelowestpossiblespeed
when on a slope. Too heavy of a load,
whileonaslope, isdangerous. Tirescan
lose traction with the ground and cause
you to lose control of your tractor.
•
•
•
Mow up and down slopes (15° Max), not across.
Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven terrain could
overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.
Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so that you will not
have to stop or shift while on the slope.
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If tires lose
traction, disengage the blades and proceed slowly
straight down the slope.
•
•
•
•
If machine stops while going uphill, disengage blades,
shift into reverse and back down slowly.
Do not turn on slopes unless necessary, and then, turn
slowly and gradually downhill, if possible.

MENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your
tractor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a
load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
•
The engine in your tractor has been shipped, from the
factory, already filled with summer weight oil.
NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and cold starting
proceduresbelow.
•
•
•
Check engine oil with tractor on level ground.
Insert key into ignition and turn key clockwise to
“START” position and release key as soon as engine
starts. Do not run starter continuously for more than
fifteen seconds per minute. If the engine does not start
afterseveralattempts,pushchokecontrolin,waitafew
minutes and try again. If engine still does not start, pull
the choke control out and retry.
Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert the
dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
“FULL” mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
•
•
For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See “OIL VISCOSITY CHART” in the
Customer Responsibilities section of this manual).
Tochangeengineoil,seetheCustomerResponsibilities
section in this manual.
WARM WEATHER STARTING (50° F and above)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP
•
Beforedrivingtheunitincoldweather,thetransmission
should be warmed up as follows:
•
•
Be sure the tractor is on level ground.
Release the parking brake and let the brake slowly
return to operating position.
•
Allowoneminutefortransmissiontowarmup.This
can be done during the engine warm up period.
•
The attachments can be used during the engine warm-
up period after the transmission has been warmed up

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000 feet) or in cold
temperatures (below 32 F) the carburetor fuel mixture may
need to be adjusted for best engine performance. See “TO
ADJUST CARBURETOR” in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH.
CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.
•
Thespecialmulchingbladewillrecutthegrassclippings
many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall
ontothelawntheywilldisperseintothegrassandnotbe
noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade
quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch
with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will
provide the best recutting action of the blades.
Avoidcuttingyourlawnwhen it iswet. Wetgrass tends
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area
will not be exposed to the direct sun.
Forbestresults,adjustthemowercuttingheightsothat
the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass
blades (See Fig. 12). For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut on each pass and mow slowly.
Certaintypesofgrassandgrassconditionsmayrequire
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow
across or perpendicular to the first cut path.
NOTE: Duringthisproceduretherewillbenomovementof
drivewheels.Theairisbeingremovedfromhydraulicdrive

•
•
Shut- off engine and set parking brake.
Engage transmission by placing freewheel control in
drivingposition(See“TOTRANSPORT”inthissection
ofmanual).
Sittinginthetractor seat,startengine.Aftertheengine
is running, move throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

Drive tractor forward for approximately five feet then
backwards for five feet. Repeat this driving procedure
three times.

MOWING TIPS
•
Mower should be properly leveled for best mowing
performance. See “TO LEVEL MOWER HOUSING” in
the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.
Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow
northtosouthoneweekthenchangetoeasttowestthe
next week. This will help prevent matting and graining
of the lawn.
•
•
Thelefthandsideofmowershouldbeusedfortrimming.
Drivesothatclippingsaredischargedontotheareathat
has been cut. Have the cut area to the right of the
machine. This will result in a more even distribution of
clippings and more uniform cutting.
Whenmowinglargeareas,startbyturningtotherightso
that clippings will discharge away from shrubs, fences,
driveways, etc. After one or two rounds, mow in the
opposite direction making left hand turns until finished
(See Fig. 11).
If grass is extremely tall, it should be mowed twice to
reduce load and possible fire hazard from dried clip-
pings. Make first cut relatively high; the second to the
desiredheight.

Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An
unbalanced blade will cause excessive vibration and even-
tual damage to mower and engine.

The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding
wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.

•
To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter
steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a cone
balancer,followtheinstructionssuppliedwithbalancer.)
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of
the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.

STORAGE
Immediately prepare your tractor for storage at the end of
the season or if the tractor will not be used for 30 days or
more.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM
DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL
SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER,
FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO,
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED
FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR
METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS
TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING
STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL
SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE.
CAUTION: Neverstorethetractorwith
gasoline in the tank inside a building
wherefumesmayreachanopenflame
or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.

fastened. Inspectmovingpartsfordamage,breakage
and wear. Replace if necessary.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container. Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding
